Yeah not sure how they determine who gets what elbow design, especially since it feels like both accomplish the same thing? Maybe it’s case-by-case based on the rest of the construction. Ryuki was even weirder because he had odd knees that were half traditional half “fine build” clip-style.

My theory is that, if the suit has a black undersuit, it gets the classic double joint.
If the elbow area is colored or requires special detail, like Fourze has the lines, then it does a single piece double joint. Everything else is single joint. I personally think the single-piece double joint is the best looking. Hibiki, Fourze, and Den-O look great.

But Ex-Aid and Zi-O have standard black elbows that are single hinge.

True, though those were early on. Not necessarily saying I agree with the theory but I'd call everything up to around Ex-Aid or W an anomaly due to how early on it was and how they were still figuring out what to do with the line, and weren't sure how popular it was

You know I've been wondering. Considering the build of the elbow joints, couldn't you give the single jointed kits double joints from another kit? Or are the connections different?

Completely different. The single joint elbows aren?t even separated joints, they?re part of the biceps and forearms.

You can tell by the clear chest piece, that this is a resin test prototype. But it looks like some silver and orange paint. I really wonder if they are going to do two different black plastics. That would really make the kit excellent.

I'm just worried about all the orange on the hoodie. There's no seam lines and it stops at the edges on the collar and sleeves, so those are gonna be stickers. Bandai learned nothing from Fourze.
